[00:00:00] Have a catch of self eating the same flavorless dinner three days in a row?

[00:00:03] Dreaming of something better?

[00:00:05] Well, Hello Fresh is your guilt free dream come true baby.

[00:00:08] It's me, Gigi Palmer.

[00:00:10] Let's wake up those taste buds with hot juicy pecan crusted chicken or garlic butter shrimp scampi.

[00:00:16] MMM! Hello Fresh.

[00:00:30] Hey, Hey Waffle Gang! I do hope you are well.

[00:00:38] My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit Stories and if you do love

[00:00:42] a Reddit Story why not consider hitting that like subscribe maybe that notification bell

[00:00:47] too.

[00:00:48] Let's crack on with today's first story.

[00:00:51] Much love guys.

[00:00:52] Now today's first story comes from the Am I the Arsehole subreddit from illegally

[00:00:56] blonde who says Am I the Arsehole for hanging up on my girlfriend after discovering her mom

[00:01:02] was spying during our personal conversations.

[00:01:05] I, 18 male have been dating my girlfriend 17 female for about 7 months.

[00:01:12] Tonight, her and I had a deep conversation about some relationship hiccups.

[00:01:16] When I shared personal family struggles I typically only discussed with my therapist.

[00:01:21] As we finally got to a place without comfortable leaving things I heard whispering in the

[00:01:25] background.

[00:01:26] When I asked my girlfriend about it she adamantly denied anyone else being there.

[00:01:32] However, as I continued asking she started crying.

[00:01:36] Just then her mom pretended to come in the room and scolded her for being up to try

[00:01:40] to cover up for the fact she'd been sitting there for an hour.

[00:01:44] Turns out her mom has been sneakily listening on almost every serious conversation

[00:01:48] or argument we've ever had.

[00:01:50] I felt absolutely betrayed and hung up immediately.

[00:01:55] Just then both my girlfriend and her mom have been apologizing and trying to shift the

[00:01:59] blame onto me.

[00:02:01] This violation of privacy has left me feeling super violated and unsure how to handle the

[00:02:06] situation.

[00:02:07] I do feel bad for hanging up so abruptly but I just didn't know how to process what

[00:02:12] was going on.

[00:02:13] Am I the Arsehole for hanging up on my girlfriend after discovering her mom was spying during

[00:02:18] our personal conversations?

[00:02:21] Any guidance on navigating the situation would be greatly appreciated.

[00:02:25] Edit

[00:02:26] I woke up an hour ago and watched all the comments come in while eating a whole last

[00:02:31] margarita pizza.

[00:02:32] Nice.

[00:02:33] Thank you all for your advice and opinions.

[00:02:35] To provide more context.

[00:02:37] Throughout our relationship my girlfriend has often joked about how her mom can get any

[00:02:42] information from her.

[00:02:43] However, I've witnessed first hand how true this is lately.

[00:02:47] I've also noticed that my girlfriend doesn't respect privacy.

[00:02:51] Claiming she needs a confidant because my situations are too much for her mentally.

[00:02:56] But then her mom knows everything I share in confidence.

[00:02:59] I also have tried not talking to her but she pushes every time.

[00:03:03] Because of this, I've become extremely cautious about sharing personal details.

[00:03:08] They are both very religious and while I share the same beliefs it's been a

[00:03:12] contentious issue in our relationship.

[00:03:15] Her mom has used religion to justify intruding on my personal life.

[00:03:18] Citing the need to guide me if I'm sinning.

[00:03:23] My own family life has been challenging.

[00:03:25] Had to move out at 18 to escape.

[00:03:27] I talked to my own mother about all of this and her response was to say that it's not

[00:03:31] the worst thing and I was overreact and which is why I felt like posting.

[00:03:36] Her mom has expressed that she sees me as part of her family.

[00:03:40] Which has led her trying to control various aspects of my life.

[00:03:43] Like dictating when I can drink coffee or imposing a bedtime.

[00:03:47] She's also shared my private struggles with her pastor and best friend who have tried to

[00:03:51] intervene and fix me.

[00:03:53] I deeply care for my partner but I can't envision a future where her mother's involvement

[00:03:58] is so intense in our lives.

[00:04:00] I plan to talk to her about this tonight and will update you all afterwards.

[00:04:06] Now absolutely not the arsehole in this situation for hanging up the way you did.

[00:04:10] I would have done exactly the same.

[00:04:14] Like a lot of these stories for me it always comes down to trust and that trust has been

[00:04:18] broken.

[00:04:19] You've been betrayed by her letting her mom listen in on your very private conversations.

[00:04:25] There's not very much coming back from that.

[00:04:27] And I just know from my perspective it'll be difficult to come back from that.

[00:04:32] I could just imagine another conversation you're having with her on the phone.

[00:04:36] Can you trust her again that her mom isn't secretly listening and there just being

[00:04:39] a lot more secretive with it.

[00:04:41] Maybe going too far here but possibly recording your conversations and listen back to it afterwards.

[00:04:46] There's a lot going on in this story for me.

[00:04:50] The fact that you know the mom has clearly got a lot of control over the girlfriend

[00:04:54] at the same time and you know I do feel sorry for her in that respect.

[00:04:59] But she's going to have to realise at the same time that this is not normal behaviour.

[00:05:04] Whether you want to tackle that with her is down to your choice.

[00:05:09] I think for me personally I would struggle after the first betrayal but you know everyone's

[00:05:14] different right?

[00:05:15] Oh someone asked how did mom listen in.

[00:05:17] OP said she sat in the room and my girlfriend had the phone on speaker.

[00:05:21] I thought nothing of it because she has always just put me on speaker in her room.

[00:05:25] Now I see why.

[00:05:26] Someone says a foundation in the relationship is trust.

[00:05:29] That's not there anymore and it's okay to break up.

[00:05:32] OP said thank you.

[00:05:34] It's tough because there is so much good but this was just so violating.

[00:05:39] I keep thinking what happens if a few months from now we have a really serious conversation

[00:05:43] and her mom wants to be a part of it.

[00:05:46] Someone says there are a lot of red flags here.

[00:05:48] I definitely recommend speaking with your therapist.

[00:05:51] OP says I think this is a great idea thank you.

[00:05:54] I just bumped our appointment up now.

[00:05:57] Couple more comments Timothy says not the arsehole you have every right to feel betrayed.

[00:06:01] If I found out my significant other had a parent eavesdropping during personal sensitive conversations

[00:06:07] I'd be devastated.

[00:06:09] Sounds like your girlfriend might be under a mom's control and not be allowed to live

[00:06:12] her own life.

[00:06:13] I sympathize with her but you shouldn't be expected to pay the price for that sick

[00:06:17] dynamic.

[00:06:18] You didn't sign up for secret non-consensual polyamory with her and her mom.

[00:06:23] I am Maggie Mouss, not the arsehole.

[00:06:25] I would give your girlfriend the chance to explain to you in person one on one

[00:06:29] what exactly has been going on.

[00:06:31] I would ask exactly what she's been allowing her mom to listen to and why hasn't she told

[00:06:35] you.

[00:06:36] I reconsider moving forward whether you want a relationship with a person you can't trust.

[00:06:42] Trackless Tinder says not the arsehole.

[00:06:44] It is unclear to me how complicit your girlfriend was in this breach of your privacy.

[00:06:49] She may have been alright with her mother listening in or that maybe her mother is

[00:06:53] overbearing and she did not have the choice in the matter but even if that is the

[00:06:57] case she should have said to you privately.

[00:07:00] Don't talk about private stuff over your phone because my mom insists on listening.

[00:07:03] There is nothing I can do about it.

[00:07:06] Either way, it should be considered a warning for you if you decide to continue in

[00:07:10] the relationship.

[00:07:12] And a final comment from PDK who says not the arsehole.

[00:07:15] You have escaped an abusive relationship with your own family.

[00:07:18] Your girlfriend's mom is being abusive to you and your girlfriend is allowing it.

[00:07:22] Your girlfriend is betraying your trust and allowing her mom to hear your

[00:07:25] confidential information and her mom is trying to use that information to

[00:07:28] control you.

[00:07:29] They're also blaming you now.

[00:07:31] I suggest to discuss this with your therapist before talking to your girlfriend.

[00:07:35] But also look up terms such as gaslighting, enmeshment and davo.

[00:07:40] Do not ignore all of the red flags.

[00:07:42] It's easier to get out of this relationship now than later.

[00:07:46] So OP adds an update and says she just called me at work.

[00:07:49] She started the conversation by saying she thinks we should probably break up

[00:07:53] because she can't do it anymore.

[00:07:55] I'll be honest, I snorted.

[00:07:57] She asked why and I responded by asking her if it was because she was scared to

[00:08:01] talk to me face-to-face or for it was because she just didn't want to deal

[00:08:04] with the fact she screwed up and hurt me.

[00:08:07] She said it was because I say everything is her fault.

[00:08:10] For context, I know I have a lot of problems because of a really hard

[00:08:13] home life and upbringing.

[00:08:15] I acknowledge when I make mistakes.

[00:08:17] Last night was mostly me having to apologize and explain myself over and over.

[00:08:22] But this time I flat out told her this was 1000% her and her mom's fault.

[00:08:27] I then had to go because I'm at work and people needed help.

[00:08:31] I then got tech saying things like, I guess this is all my fault and I deserve

[00:08:35] to sit in my consequences apparently.

[00:08:38] She wants me to come to her house after work to sort things out.

[00:08:41] I think I'm going to see if we can meet alone in a public place to ensure privacy.

[00:08:46] I'll update after that.

[00:08:48] And if I wasn't checked out after that first post, I'm certainly checked out now,

[00:08:53] the way she's trying to switch this around on you.

[00:08:56] And it sounded like manipulation at the end there.

[00:08:58] I guess this is all my fault and I deserve to sit in my consequences apparently.

[00:09:02] She says apparently on the end and she wants you to come to her house.

[00:09:06] I wonder if her mama be lurking around in the background.

[00:09:10] That's the way it kind of feels like it would go down that path for me.

[00:09:12] But anyway, one and a half months later, Opie gave a one line final update

[00:09:17] and says we ended up breaking up a bit after she apologized in the end,

[00:09:21] but the trust was gone.

[00:09:24] And, you know, it just feels like that is the best outcome for this story.

[00:09:30] And a lot of people talking about enmeshment after that one at the same time.

[00:09:34] And, you know, it's going to be certainly reading up a bit more about that.

[00:09:39] I've heard of it in the past, but never looked too much into it.

[00:09:41] But after seeing a couple of examples, it certainly seems like that.

[00:09:45] But what do you guys make of this situation?

[00:09:50] Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:09:53] And let's move on to another story.

[00:10:53] And our next story comes from the relationship subreddit from a deleted user who says,

[00:11:00] my boyfriend and I had an argument regarding his female friend and need to know

[00:11:04] the best way to approach her to fix this.

[00:11:07] My female 22 boyfriend, 24 male has a friend, female 24.

[00:11:13] But as far as I know, has never been in a relationship.

[00:11:17] Ever since her friendship started, she would give my boyfriend a Valentine's

[00:11:20] gift every year.

[00:11:22] A few days ago, I brought my discomfort about this since I'm currently his girlfriend

[00:11:27] and told the friend I would appreciate it if you respect my request to stop giving

[00:11:30] Valentine's. She disregarded my feelings.

[00:11:33] So I brought this up with my boyfriend who also disregarded my feelings,

[00:11:37] which led to me saying some hurtful things about the friend

[00:11:40] and even accused her of being in love with boyfriend and trying to keep him

[00:11:44] to herself. Ever since then he's been ghosting me.

[00:11:48] He doesn't even come by the restaurant I work at anymore, where we met.

[00:11:52] I figured the best way to handle this was to talk to the friend.

[00:11:55] I still have a number.

[00:11:57] They also know where she lives and works.

[00:11:59] What's holding me back from talking to her is that I'm afraid

[00:12:02] that boyfriend told her what I said about her from our argument.

[00:12:06] What would be the best way to approach her?

[00:12:08] Edit. Yes, he did tell me, I think we should break up.

[00:12:12] And yes, I called the friend a virgin loser.

[00:12:15] And yes, she performs this Valentine's gift giving tradition to all of her

[00:12:18] friends and parents. I didn't mention these because I didn't think they were important.

[00:12:23] I just wanted to focus on making up with my boyfriend.

[00:12:26] I guess I didn't see what I requested was a big deal.

[00:12:29] I didn't think it would get this serious.

[00:12:31] There are a lot of people that was sympathetic and agreed that I was reasonable

[00:12:35] and I appreciate that sentiment.

[00:12:37] Although I would have appreciated more if they gave me the advice I asked for.

[00:12:41] That's why I came here.

[00:12:43] I guess my Valentine's has become my sad.

[00:12:46] Considering this was a factor of our breakup,

[00:12:49] I'll stop contacting him at least until Friday.

[00:12:51] Give him a few days to reconsider.

[00:12:54] Maybe the next time he sees my text, he'll realize how much he misses me.

[00:12:58] So in the comments, Ploup says he hasn't responded to you for a few days,

[00:13:02] which from your post seems abnormal.

[00:13:05] When you said the hurtful things to him, how did he react in the moment?

[00:13:08] Opie says he got quiet, but I can tell he was angry.

[00:13:11] I thought he was going to yell, but he didn't.

[00:13:14] Now, he did say, I think we should break up.

[00:13:17] He told me he thinks we should.

[00:13:19] I don't believe this is final.

[00:13:21] He probably just needs some time to think.

[00:13:22] I want to get through to the friend first before things get worse.

[00:13:27] And there was a comment suggesting that Opie has posted this before.

[00:13:31] They said the last time you posted this, admittedly with much shittier language,

[00:13:35] everyone told you clearly that you were being an asshole.

[00:13:38] And this is nothing you had any right to intervene in.

[00:13:41] That hasn't changed just because you left out some of the least flattering details in this version.

[00:13:46] The only person who could talk to about this is your ex, and he doesn't want to talk to you.

[00:13:50] Spinner of yarn says, if he said I think we should break up and he's ghosted you,

[00:13:55] you broke up with you. It's over.

[00:13:57] There's nothing you can say to her that will make him do anything.

[00:14:01] No, Valentine's Day isn't just for couples.

[00:14:03] I've given and received cars from friends and family my whole life for Valentine's Day.

[00:14:07] But I'm old enough to be your grandmother.

[00:14:10] Beffy Baby says, sorry, but this is overbearing and ridiculous.

[00:14:14] I'm 35 years old and it hasn't been a year that I haven't given my friends something

[00:14:18] along with my partners.

[00:14:20] Valentine's Day isn't about romance.

[00:14:22] It's a hallmark holiday intended to share love to anyone.

[00:14:26] I've read your comments and you are setting this boundary about gifts under $10.

[00:14:30] Candy, a stuffed animal, a key chain, literally nothing else has happened.

[00:14:35] It's never anything romantic and it's been a tradition.

[00:14:38] And you had the audacity to call her names because you didn't get your way.

[00:14:42] Kind of wondering if you're the one he should be worried about.

[00:14:46] How in the world did you get that she was in love with him

[00:14:49] and trying to keep him for yourself over a cheap gift?

[00:14:52] Did you feel this way in school when we would trade Valentine's with the other kids?

[00:14:57] So O.P. did update the post and says, granted, I knew this was a long shot.

[00:15:02] But I decided to contact a friend.

[00:15:04] Someone suggested me to show this post to my boyfriend.

[00:15:07] But I didn't do that because I thought he would ignore it

[00:15:09] just like all my other texts and calls.

[00:15:12] Instead, I decided to show some of the replies I got and to show the friend

[00:15:15] that this is weird behavior between friends.

[00:15:18] I'd ask if she can just be honest for once that she may actually do in fact

[00:15:21] have feelings for my boyfriend.

[00:15:23] She replied that she would like to speak in private and invited me to her apartment.

[00:15:28] It's all happened yesterday.

[00:15:30] What I thought would be a conversation about trying to understand each other

[00:15:33] instead turned into a big dunk on me.

[00:15:36] She told me the reason she's telling this to my face instead of through her text

[00:15:39] is because since I'm acting immature about this whole thing,

[00:15:42] I'm going to talk to you like a child.

[00:15:45] She felt that even just the little things about her life that I shared with

[00:15:48] strangers and then showed their distorted judgment towards her was wrong.

[00:15:52] Pretty sure you'll share this too.

[00:15:54] But as soon as I finished what I said here and you walk out of here

[00:15:57] and block in your number and try not to think of you ever again,

[00:16:00] just like boyfriend's name is trying to do.

[00:16:03] I then brought up some family issues she would share whenever she wanted to get sympathy.

[00:16:07] She yelled at me and said, that's her life.

[00:16:10] And she shares with her friends and said,

[00:16:12] I'm talking about her life to strangers to get your own sympathy.

[00:16:15] She then said, unlike you, I don't judge people's value

[00:16:19] based on relationship status or if they have sex or not.

[00:16:23] Boyfriend's name is an awesome person.

[00:16:26] He deserves every good thing in his life.

[00:16:28] I thought you can be one of them.

[00:16:30] I thought you were a funny and sweet person and I liked how you made him smile.

[00:16:34] Now, whenever he thinks about you, he gets upset.

[00:16:37] By the way, you two are definitely over.

[00:16:39] And no, I'm not going to help you understand about my lack of love life.

[00:16:43] There's nothing to understand.

[00:16:44] This is my life and you're not involved in it and you never will be.

[00:16:48] And you'll never be involved in boyfriend's name ever again.

[00:16:51] I was trying not to cry during this berating.

[00:16:54] Even when I broke down, she still kept talking

[00:16:56] while I couldn't even get a word in.

[00:16:58] I said, I just want to talk to him, but she kept telling me to get out.

[00:17:02] When I come down later in my car, I called my boyfriend.

[00:17:05] It automatically goes to voicemail.

[00:17:07] That's never happened before.

[00:17:09] I called again and it goes to voicemail.

[00:17:12] I think he finally blocked me.

[00:17:14] I think we're over.

[00:17:15] I think it took me like 30 minutes to feel OK to drive.

[00:17:18] My friends and roommates try to comfort me, but I was too exhausted.

[00:17:21] So I just took a nap.

[00:17:23] I'm still not feeling all that great, but I'm going to try to move on.

[00:17:27] Now, usually I love a story where someone comes to read it for advice

[00:17:32] and they ask their question and, you know, they get berated

[00:17:35] and torn apart and all this sort of stuff.

[00:17:37] And then they're like, OK, I've learned my lesson

[00:17:40] and they learn something from that post.

[00:17:42] They change their behavior.

[00:17:43] It doesn't excuse their past for sure, but I love it

[00:17:46] when it's a learning experience for someone.

[00:17:48] But this postman, I was just like, what?

[00:17:51] All the comments that I was looking through was pretty much telling

[00:17:54] the OP that that relationship's over.

[00:17:56] Move on, let them be, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:17:59] So I'm giving advice to maybe get contact in a certain way.

[00:18:02] But it seems like OP just like cherry picked the comments

[00:18:05] and was like, I'm just going to take the ones that are siding with me 100%.

[00:18:11] And what's going to approach the friend and tell her

[00:18:14] that it's weird behavior between friends.

[00:18:16] After all those previous comments, I was just like, wow, you know,

[00:18:20] and still there was no learning by the very end of this post.

[00:18:22] It felt like to me, but what do you guys make of this situation?

[00:18:27] Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:18:29] Let's have one more cheeky story, shall we?

[00:18:33] And our next story is coming from the Am I the Arsehole subreddit?

[00:18:36] It doesn't have an update yet.

[00:18:39] And it's from Bad In Law One, who says, Am I the Arsehole

[00:18:43] for ruining my brother-in-law's reputation

[00:18:45] by telling the truth to my friends?

[00:18:48] My in-laws are currently furious with me for hurting

[00:18:51] my brother-in-law's feelings and reputation with my friend group.

[00:18:55] Recently, my single brother-in-law, Chris, 38 male,

[00:18:59] has been hinting at me to introduce him to women and I've refused.

[00:19:03] Chris has been single for almost three years

[00:19:05] and he's been having a hard time meeting women.

[00:19:08] He tried flirting with my friend, but she had been cold and non-receptive.

[00:19:12] This was my friend Grace, 35 female.

[00:19:15] Grace is not interested in him due to his inability to be faithful

[00:19:19] and she wasn't physically attracted to him.

[00:19:21] He tried to flirtatiously engage with her during a small party

[00:19:25] my husband and I had last Saturday.

[00:19:27] My husband got a long-awaited promotion, so he had a little party.

[00:19:31] During the party, Grace had grown frustrated with his incessant flirting

[00:19:36] and at some point told him in no uncertain terms that she found him

[00:19:39] physically ugly and that his physical ugliness is only surpassed

[00:19:43] by the ugliness of his character.

[00:19:45] All in mole, she told him this in private.

[00:19:48] So no other guests had heard a scathing review of his personhood.

[00:19:52] Chris left the party.

[00:19:54] The following afternoon while my husband and I were nursing a wicked hangover

[00:19:57] by inlaws to my surprise called to scold me for having abused and embarrassed Chris.

[00:20:03] After a few minutes of us shouting back and forth on the phone,

[00:20:06] I reminded my husband that handling his family was his job.

[00:20:10] So when my husband argued with his parents, I reviewed our security cameras

[00:20:14] and, honey, Grace verbally tore him apart.

[00:20:17] Grace reminded him that he cheated and divorced his late ex-wife, Lily,

[00:20:21] while she was still battling cancer.

[00:20:23] And then he got dumped by the mistress for being a cheater

[00:20:26] as he continued to cheat on her.

[00:20:28] Grace told him that he wasn't a man of any significant value

[00:20:33] other than the few coins he had in the bank.

[00:20:35] And there's no way in hell she'd entertain his delusions of sexual grandeur and beauty.

[00:20:39] She also said the only thing he had going for him was his over bloated job title

[00:20:43] as an executive director to a third-rate company.

[00:20:46] It will probably collapse in the next five years.

[00:20:49] As a parting gift, she told him to consider some cosmetic work

[00:20:52] to improve his haggard appearance and perhaps to start praying for divine intervention

[00:20:57] to fix his rotten soul, since there is no way a psychotherapist could have ever

[00:21:00] come close to fixing whatever is wrong with him.

[00:21:03] My inlaws and Chris feel that I shouldn't have told my friends what Chris did

[00:21:07] because he's now perceived by my girlfriends as a terrible person.

[00:21:11] I told them he was unfortunately a terrible person

[00:21:14] and people would have always found out what happened between him and the late

[00:21:18] great Lily and then discuss what happened with my colleague Natasha.

[00:21:22] She said I was cruel for having told my friend group about what happened

[00:21:25] between Chris and his ex-wife, because Chris had grown a lot in the past two years

[00:21:30] and didn't need to be known for the worst thing he's ever done.

[00:21:33] Natasha is dating Chris's friend, so she also knows him.

[00:21:37] For your information, I've only discussed Chris's treatment of Lily

[00:21:40] with my direct friend group.

[00:21:42] That's only six people and half of them already knew as they were also friends

[00:21:46] with Lily, so it's not like I'm screaming here, you hear you in the town square.

[00:21:51] And Grace came out swinging.

[00:21:54] Holy shit.

[00:21:55] But I think the fact of the matter in this situation is you didn't ruin his

[00:21:59] reputation. He did that himself when he did what he did.

[00:22:03] And I can't really blame you for letting friends know about what happened.

[00:22:08] Basically.

[00:22:09] If I saw a friend was going to get with someone with a potentially shady history,

[00:22:14] I would certainly be raising it to that said friend at the same time as well.

[00:22:18] But Pleasant Test says not the asshole.

[00:22:20] How can you be telling the truth be perceived as unfair?

[00:22:23] Chris did this to himself.

[00:22:25] It was his behavior that is the problem.

[00:22:27] Why should you expose your friends or potentially horrific relationship?

[00:22:31] You know your brother in there as a cheater, but your in-laws want you

[00:22:33] to keep that from your friend so he can continue to take advantage without

[00:22:37] consequences. I think you did the right thing.

[00:22:41] And Jareen Bouquet says truth is an absolute

[00:22:44] defense to defamation, not the asshole.

[00:22:46] What kind of friend would you be if you didn't warn your friends about his cheating?

[00:22:50] If he's grown, then he can prove that you do not owe him any setups,

[00:22:54] much less one you've lied to by a mission.

[00:22:57] That confusion says I love Grace already.

[00:23:00] Chris isn't in a position to complain about gossip since he went crying to

[00:23:04] his parents.

[00:23:05] But yeah, but in the future, you should probably not invite him to functions

[00:23:10] where he might hit on your female guests and ruin their evening, not the asshole.

[00:23:15] Now I'm going to turn this one to you guys.

[00:23:18] What do you guys make of this situation?

[00:23:21] Would you handle this any differently?

[00:23:23] Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

[00:23:26] That's just a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting involved

[00:23:33] absolute world to me. So thank you so, so much for getting involved.

[00:24:03] Hold up. What was that?

[00:24:05] Boring. No flavor.

[00:24:07] That was as bad as those leftovers you ate all week.
